Red Wings' Justin Abdelkader: Headed to IR

Abdelkader (knee) has been placed on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site.

Analysis:

For those keeping track at home, that's an astounding nine Red Wings now listed on IR, with Abdelkader being the sixth forward to join the walking wounded. The roster move does not change the timetable for the 29-year-old winger and you should expect to see him back in 2-to-4 weeks.
